Check your fans fellas
CHECK YOUR FANS FELLAS. I had no idea that metal fatigue had set in so badly. I had a good look at the White Scout Car fan today and it looks like the problem has been there for a while. Not only with the blade that sheared off but 3 others were on their way as well. The bracket broke as a direct result of the fan being out of balance. There is no sign of a fatigued bracket.
So, now I need a new fan and have the radiator repaired/replaced. IMG_6876r.JPG The errant blade. IMG_6877r.JPG Metal fatigue for some time. IMG_6883r.JPG Another metal fatigued blade. IMG_6889r.JPG Yet another Metal fatigued blade.

Thanks for tip, will check
Hi Rick
Sorry that it happened and the work ahead. But thankfull for your timely reminder to check the fans on the trucks. Just finished doing the spring (here in the Northern Hemousphere) servicing on the three CMPs. But with your graphic photos I will be out with bright light and mirror to carefully check each fan for any sign of cracking. Cheers Phil

I had a couple of scout car radiators built here in Chicago. They used the existing tanks, and new cores. Hopefully something like that is available near you.

I am bumping this one up a bit as I am still in need of a replacement fan. Surely someone has one out there in MV land. I have the bracket and will remove the radiator for assessment soon.
Thanks, please have a look for a fan for me. Cheers Rick.

Fan
Hi Rick
I have a rough one here but it would need to be have some of the blades replaced. I can’t recall if I sent you photos last time or not.

Fan Blade
Hi Rick, looks like the same as a 1940 Ford V-8 Truck Fan blade. You can get a couple of different profiles, one with narrow blades and one with wider blades , that throw more air. Have you tried matching one up out of interest? Cheers Andrew.
